Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

It implies that the demonstration concluded peacefully or came to an end without any disturbance. It maintains the original meaning and is a suitable choice.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Passed out refers to someone losing consciousness or fainting.
  • Passed on means transferred from one entity to the other.
  • Passed away means to die.

So, the correct sentence should be: The demonstration passed peacefully.
